Now this is more like it

I hate to focus through an those silly LED screens that are useless in bright lights. The optical viewfinders on the better small cameras are useless for accurate composition so I have been using the micro four third cameras with EVFs for general travel use. This news from Nikon is indeed welcome. I hope that Canon will soon follow suit.

Nikon has introduced the Coolpix P7800, their premiere compact camera  that replaces last year's P7700 as their flagship zoom camera. The P7800 is very similar to its predecessor. It's most striking and welcome change is the addition of an electronic viewfinder. Other specs are more or less similar. The camera has a 28-200mm (equivalent) F2-4 zoom lens, and sports a fully-articulating rear LCD screen, and plenty of manual control and exposure options, at an expected MSRP of $549.99.  Nice, very nice.
